Avoid These Mistakes When Training Your First AI Model
Published on: 2025/05/28
First time training a model? Here are some mistakes you need to avoid!
Training your first AI model on DeepMode is exciting, but it can also be frustrating if you make avoidable mistakes. Whether you're creating a professional headshot model, an anime character, or a digital influencer, your results depend heavily on the input you provide. Here's a quick guide on what to avoid to get the best outcome from your training session.
1. Uploading Low-Quality or Repetitive Images
The biggest mistake? Poor input quality. If your images are blurry, dark, or overexposed, the AI will struggle to generate sharp, high-fidelity results. Also, avoid using too many similar photos. A model trained on 10 identical selfies won’t understand depth, variation, or style.
Instead: Use 8–16 clear, high-resolution photos taken from different backgrounds, angles, and lighting conditions.
2. Ignoring Image Variety
Another common error is uploading only one type of photo (e.g. only close-ups or only full-body shots).
Instead: Include a mix of close-ups, mid-shots, and full-body images. This helps the AI model learn facial structure, proportions, and context better.
3. Including Distracting Elements
Photos with sunglasses, hats, beauty filters, or other people can confuse the AI during training.
Instead: Keep it clean. No sunglasses. No beauty filters. Just natural, varied images of the subject alone.
4. Overloading the Model with Too Many Images
While DeepMode allows up to 30 images, more isn’t always better. Quantity can overwhelm quality if not carefully chosen.
Instead: Stick with 8–16 high-quality, diverse images for best results.
Final Tip: Test & Tweak
Once your model is ready, test different prompts and styles. The more you experiment, the more you'll discover what your model excels at.
Avoid these beginner mistakes, and you'll be well on your way to generating stunning AI visuals with DeepMode.
Happy creating!
